Yeah they have no idea what's going on - you can get the XR package on a 2021. Really disappointing when supposed authorities on the subject miss stuff like that. It's like when a Bronco review slams the JL/JT steering or on-road feel as rough but then neglects to mention the solid axles.
I agree that it's a notable omission, but the flip side of that is that the VAST majority of Wrangler buyers have no idea what a solid axle is or why it's good/bad. In the forums, the off road crowd is vastly over represented relative to the actual owners of the vehicle. Most Wranglers get groceries, take kids to school, commute, etc. I've heard people in flat, hot, dry parts of the country tell me to my face they need four wheel drive because it rains sometimes. There's a few people in my neighborhood who have front wheel drive cars up here, and get along just fine (with studded snow tires).
Do you have a JT? How has it performed around Evergreen/Mtn area?
Agreed. For something midcycle which won’t get any major press, I don’t see what Jeep gains by announcing even one day in advance from their perspective. Let people order as many 2021s as they can…
Not yet. That's why I'm so active in this thread. My wife has a JK (our only vehicle until I get my JT), and we're a little south of Conifer. My parents have a JL (in Evergreen), and they are about to replace their other car, so must like it better. I've driven it, and the only complaint I can think of is that it doesn't have a good place for my right arm while driving (compared to the T shift handle in my Bison).
Are you insinuating the 392 would over heat? I have a scat pack and that car will go run after run after run down Bandimere back to back on a 100+ degree July day and it’s consistent. Towing is obviously a different story but i don’t think it would have an issue.
Must be a big gal....You have good taste sir. But crammed? The backseat is huge!
I had one for a short while. The color was "Plum Crazy Pearl", with the Shaker. The backseat is way bigger than what we have in the Gladiators. They are very roomy. Challengers are not small cars, despite being two doors. It's the last of its kind. A full size two door coupe.
I guess big back seat is relative. Compared to sitting in our Grand Cherokee, not so much.You have good taste sir. But crammed? The backseat is huge!
Love that color! Wife wouldn’t let me get it lol. But yeah, they’re a dying breed.
Oh yeah compared to that they’re small haha.
If this isn’t the mid cycle refresh and it is next year like others have said, maybe they will just do a soft release and not announce it an auto show? You’ll find out through autoblog, car and driver, motor 1, motortrend etc. According to that donlen website orders open on the 9th of September. Idk how much I believe that site though….Hasn’t been very accurate this year.
